Whoops. I misread the last post and thought that 5 million number was for one region and not the total sales.

Yeah, doesn't seem threatening.

All of a sudden I'm a lot less scared of it.

For comparisons sake though, VGChartz pegs TP's sales at about 4.5 million worldwide, Wii and GC combined.


I've said it before and I will say it again, the next Final Fantasy will be the Ocarina of Time of this generation: heralded by the system's fans as a savior, and selling great to the base that already bought the system, but it will be "too little, too late" in the grande scheme of things.

I can't wait for the mobile phone FFXIII, it will truly be an epic game befitting a minuscule screen.

Err... good point, just in case anyone was confused, I was taking solely from a sales perspective, not quality between the two titles.
